the threat to bikers and pedestrians is literally cars, investing in transit doesn't change that. Enforcing traffic laws against people driving like maniacs is the starting point for "giving a shit"

If you let people drive dangerously and illegally then taking a handful of cars off the road won't make a difference

I mean ideally it would given that there wouldn’t be the congestion that would make it dangerous. I get your point but I think you underestimate how many cars you can take off the road by having an adequately funded transit authority

What? Congestion has nothing to do with this, people speeding and driving recklessly are the issues, thats why the speed cameras are reducing crashes so drastically
